sky trust
 n.— «Carbon capping comes in three varieties: cap-and-trade, cap-and-auction, and cap-and-recycle.…In cap-and-recycle, permits are also sold, not given away free. However, the revenue doesn’t go to the —it goes to all of us, one , one share. The model here is the Alaska Permanent Fund, which pays equal dividends to all Alaskans from state oil income. This kind of cap is sometimes called a sky trust.» —“Carbon Capping: Let’s Do it Right!” by Peter Barnes Step It Up Sept. 11, 2007. (: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
